An emotion waved over me as I looked over my shoulder

in the road ahead of me I saw a large boulder

it was black and strange and practically unknown

as I put one foot in front of the other grass had grown

the black was overtaken by a layer of green

flowers came anew and the boulder began to gleam

familiar it came and soon it became a large part of my team

this boulder once a stranger and foe now my friend

on earth it was known
